She said she then took off the rest of his wet clothes and wrapped him in a blanket.

“He was freezing,” she added.

Heartbreakingly, Jacob's father and three siblings who were in the house with him at the time are still missing.

Jacob has been reunited with his mother who was out working as a nursing assistant at the time, the Seattle Times reports.

He was one of eight people rescued on Saturday.

Posting the video on its Facebook page, Snohomish County Helicopter Rescue Team said: "Our team was conducting a training that morning only 25 miles south of the slide location and, as such, was able to arrive on scene very quickly.

"Our hearts go out to the families, friends, and loved ones of all the victims and those still lost.

"We have been flying each day since the disaster and will be back at it tomorrow to continue the rescue efforts."

Search crews are continuing to find bodies in the desperate hunt for survivors, amid fading hopes that anyone could still be plucked alive from the massive pile of heavy muck and debris.
